Known across the globe for her beauty, the princess died due to injuries she suffered in a car crash. There were rumours that Prince Charles and Princess Diana had amicably separated and when Princess Diana posed alone in front of the Taj Mahal those rumours became stronger. It was later confirmed that Prince Charles was having an affair with Camilla Bowles when Diana was asked about the same in an interview with BBC. She had said, “Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.”

The couple divorced in 1996. On August 31, 1997 Diana’s Mercedes crashed at a pillar under Alma Bride at around 12:30 a.m. According to The Telegraph, “Diana, her then boyfriend Dodi Fayed, 41, son of Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed, the former owner of Harrods department store, and driver Henri Paul, all died in the late-night crash. Investigations carried out by both French and British authorities concluded that Mr Paul was responsible for the crash. He was drunk and on anti-depressants when he lost control of the Mercedes as it sped through the tunnel that lies next to the River Seine, while trying to shake off paparazzi photographers.” There were various conspiracy theories surrounding her death, given the timing of it. Some say, the royal family ordered her death while others say it was MI6.

Wherever these women are now, they remain alive in the hearts of many in the world today. May their souls rest in peace.
